Hey, all! This morning I did Kelly Coffey Meyer's 30 Minutes to Fitness Bootcamp (workouts 1 and 2 premix), then I did 100 swings with my 25# kb and 30 pushups. When I do my 100 swings I usually do a mix of double-arm, alternating, and overhead, but today I did 100 double-arm swings and it...

Hi, kettlebellers! This morning I did AOS Providence for the first time. I LOVED it!! The time just flew by! The toughest round for me was the round with the windmills into the overhead squats. Yowza! I have 15, 20, and 25 lb kettlebells. I could definitely use a heavier kb for some...

Deanie: thanks for the info on Ropes Gone Wild. I love 4DS BC. I haven't worked out yet today (accidentally slept in), but would like to get a quick cardio in after work. Perhaps 4DS BC is just the ticket! Andilynn: thanks for the info re HIIT and interval training. I can't believe you use...

Wow - I was just thinking this very thing yesterday - I never (or rarely) get DOMS in my shoulders. I get them in my rear delts once in awhile, but that's it. Hmm... now that I think about it, perhaps I'm not working them as hard as I should be. Thanks for this thread - I will try to...

Great question, April. I hope we hear an answer soon, as I plan on doing a six month rotation with STS!!

Hi, all. This morning I did Lauren Brooks' 12 min. kettlebell workout and then did the chest and back work from Cathe's 4-Day Split. I'm counting all the pushups I do in 2009 and so far I've done 252. I'm sure I won't get that many in all the time, but with all these breaks from work, I've...

Thanks for sharing! I must admit, I'm quite jealous. My workout room is small. I'd love to workout in my spacious basement (unfinished, but it's big), however, the ceilings are very low - I wouldn't be able to do leg presses or any move that required me to use even a 4' step. But congrats...

Hi, everyone! Deanie - enjoy your rest day. My rest day is on Friday and I always take it!! Thanks, all, for the kettlebell DVD info. I think I will just stick with AOS Providence, Newport and my Lauren Brooks DVD. This morning I did Cathe's Gym Style Legs workout, just to see what...

Hi, all. Is this a closed check-in? If so, I'm sorry for posting and won't post any more if that is the case. I really lost some of my cardio capacity and strength in 2008 (injuries and exercise burnout) but I would really like to gain that fitness back (while losing weight!;) in 2009. I...

For me, I think GSL has the toughest calf segment of any Cathe workout. Slow & Heavy legs and 4DS LIS calves use dumbbells, but still nothing burns like the calves segment from GSL. Also, I think the floor work in GSL is KILLER!!! Oh my gosh, those one legged ball roll-outs and glute raises...

I tried all of APX, as is, once. It darn near did me in. I LOVE the way Amy works the back muscles. APX and Slo Mo have some of my very favorite back work. I wish she worked the chest a bit harder (but I have Cathe for that!) but her back work is awesome. I cannot believe the weights she uses...

I don't have children, but I have nieces and nephews that are very near and dear to my heart. Your post was so sad! And after reading about that case of cyber bullying that ended in a poor girl's suicide, I don't know what to think!? At least your daughter has you looking out for her. I...

Funny you should mention these workouts, I just did Powerstrike 1 this morning!! I don't have 4 or 5, but I'm seriously considering purchasing them. I know Powerstrike 3 wasn't very popular - but I really like it. I wish Ilaria and Patricia still instructed together. :(

My mother-in-law used to give me lingerie - very odd, considering my DH comes from a strict, Baptist family. She finally stopped and gives me gift cards, now. Um, my ex-roommate's grandmother used to give her used gifts. Nothing wrong with that - I give used books and CDs for gifts, but she...
